Sting reworks his classics for new album

Sting will release his next album on May 24th, and while the material is old, it's also new. My Songs features him reworking 15 of his songs from both his time with The Police and on his own.

Speaking to Billboard, he says, "I'm constantly tinkering and I'm always wanting to make the songs as contemporary as they can possibly be, because I think they are good songs. Sometimes songs are identified by the technology they were recorded with -- recording techniques, the sound of synthesizers or the drum sound. They all date a song, so we just want to re-contemporize the stuff."
